Overview

Aim for a career that combines your passion for sport with the rewards of youth work. Our double degree gives you in-demand skills and knowledge to help young people reach their potential.

The Bachelor of Youth Work/Bachelor of Sport Management expands your career options in youth work and sport management. You’ll develop practical management and leadership skills for both areas, and become an expert in roles where sport and youth work meet.

Youth work encourages young people’s personal and social development, giving them a voice in their communities and society. One of the key tools in this work is recreation and adventure programs. Our combined degree, Bachelor of Youth Work and Bachelor of Sport Management, will teach you enjoyable and challenging educational activities that help young people to work through issues and build self-confidence.

We give you valuable youth-work and sport-management experience – ensuring you’re job-ready when you graduate.
